Welcome to Concord International! Also known as CISDAC. We are multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic church. We would like to think that we represent what God’s kingdom looks like. But God’s kingdom is not known just as people from all nations and languages, but also as disciples who reflect God’s character through our own lives. My prayer is that you come to know Jesus better today than you knew Him before. – Pedro M Trinidad, Pastor

WE WANT WORSHIP VOLUNTEERS:

God has given everyone at least one gift and here at CISDAC we want you to share them with us. We are always looking for individuals who want to be a part of the worship service. No need to be perfect, God just wants an open heart! Please contact Celia Regal 925-391-5991

The Audio-Visual Department needs help setting up microphones before service and after church services to collect them. Interested people speak to Mike Rieder directly today

NCC Efforts - Over the next year, ACS will need members to volunteer in the North American Division’s Adventist Community Services mega-warehouse in San Antonio. (The volunteer positions are usually two-week stints, and the NCC ACS Ministry will make these requests of churches in our area as the need arises.) At this time, ACS is not in need of food or clothing. However, your financial assistance and prayers for the people in the disaster area are greatly needed. People can donate anytime atwww.communityservices.org.
